Museum quality printing

 

Museum-quality prints

Pim Velthuizen builds his works from his own macro photographs and drawings, which he combines digitally into a single image. Each work is realised as a museum-quality pigment print, in one fixed size and an edition of five.

Printed with ten pigment inks on an Epson SC-P20000, on 100% cotton paper that is acid-free and contains no optical brighteners, so it will not yellow. The colours are expected to remain stable for up to 200 years.

Two ways of presentation

Behind museum acrylic: the print is face-mounted behind TruLife acrylic. This anti-reflective acrylic virtually eliminates reflections, blocks 99% of UV light and gives the colours depth and clarity. Printed on Canson Infinity Platine Fibre Rag; used for the large formats: round Ø 80 cm, 63 × 100, 50 × 140 and 160 × 100 cm.

Matte and framed: an ultra-matte print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag® Ultra Smooth (305 gsm) in a white Mansonia wood floating frame. Formats 57 × 57 and 37.5 × 105 cm.

Made by specialists

The prints are produced by two Dutch fine art print studios: Wilcovak in Hoogeveen (acrylic) and Martin Zwaan in Maasland (matte prints). Both work for artists, galleries and museums; prints from their studios are shown at fairs such as PAN Amsterdam, Art Rotterdam, Unseen, Paris Photo, Photo London, Art Basel and Art Miami.
